I have had a 20-gallon tank for a few months now and was planning on getting a bigger one in the future, but PetSmart had a fantastic sale that I couldn’t pass up. So now I have a 65-gallon tank. I had some questions regarding some of the equipment I should get for this bigger tank.
I was looking at the Aqua Clear Power Filter – 110 V on Amazon. I have been told by a few people that for this sized tank I should have 2 filters though. Is this one filter good or should I get two or what?
I read online that for my sized tank the heat should be around 200-300 watts. The Eheim Jager aquarium thermostat heater has good reviews and comes in 300 watts. Would this be a good enough heater for the tank?
Also, for reference I currently have 5 tiger barbs, a rainbow shark and a pleco. I was planning on putting them in the bigger tank once I have it set up and let it cycle. (If anyone has any recommendations for other fish that would make good tankmates it would be appreciated)
I have included a picture of my old tank next to the new one as well.
If anyone has any advice or recommendations, I would be very thankful.
